Discourse, Figure (French: Discours, figure) is a 1971 book by the French philosopher Jean-François Lyotard. The philosopher Alan D. Schrift described the book as Lyotard's first major work.[1] According to the philosopher Iain Hamilton Grant, Lyotard regarded it as one of his key works, alongside Libidinal Economy (1974) and The Differend (1983).[2]
